Our research is on the frontlines of controlling and eradicating emerging infectious diseases.
Vaccines
We research and develop vaccines for human and animal diseases.
Infectious Disease Epidemiology
Our research focuses on disease and health factors.
Veterinary Medicine
We are an academic home for pre-vet students and offer services for veterinarians.
Tracking zoonotic pathogens
Genome sequencing and comparative phylogenetic analysis are helping track cases of emerging zoonotic pathogens.
Pre-professional Health Sciences
Pre-MED, Pre-PA, Pre-Dental, Pre-Vet.
Welcome to the Department of Pathobiology and Veterinary Science
Pathobiology and Veterinary Science is highly regarded for its undergraduate and graduate programs. Our undergraduate curriculum is designed for students preparing to enter medical (Pre-Med), dental (Pre-Dental), veterinary (Pre-Vet), or graduate schools. Students are mentored by faculty who are cutting-edge professionals in their respective fields. Under the umbrella of Pathobiology, our MS and Ph.D. graduate degree programs have areas of concentrations in bacteriology, pathology, and virology.
The Center of Excellence for Vaccine Research uses research expertise and a collaborative approach to address animal diseases. Learn more.
Connecticut Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Laboratory
We provide top quality diagnostic services to our clients, who are comprised of veterinarians, members of the agricultural industry, owners of companion, zoo, and aquatic animals, stewards of Connecticut wildlife, and residents of Connecticut, New England, and beyond. We strive to work cooperatively with federal and state veterinary agencies to enhance disease surveillance and responses. Learn more.
US Animal Vaccinology Research Coordination Network
The US Animal Vaccinology Research Coordination Network (USAVRCN) is an initiative of USDA NIFA to bring together the breadth of stakeholders with interest in advancing vaccine research and improving vaccine-based disease control in agricultural and aquacultural species. Learn more.
Pathobiology addresses diverse critical issues that affect human, animal, and environmental health. These include disease surveillance, the effects of climate change on human and animal health, bats, zoonosis, mosquitos, vector-borne diseases, and ticks. As part of our research we monitor and adapt to emerging areas of research. Our service and outreach programs support veterinarians, municipalities, communities, and individuals.
Pathobiology includes teaching, research, and extension programs concerned with pathology and infectious diseases of humans, agricultural animals, companion animals, laboratory animals, and wildlife.
